I know Republicans want 2 classes of people, and everything they do is to get that goal done. I actually think this lady is a lot better at her job than Obama is at his.

She is a tragedy. Obama is simply an overmatched twit.

It's the Democrats that want two classes: Providers and Recipients. Which group are you in?

Utopia, as written by Sir Thomas More, is a work of fiction, and was meant as a parody when it was written.

I get your point -- but I do think that the Republican point of view is more universally applicable. I would paraphrase it as "those who work for the money should get to keep as much of it as possible. As a result, government is obligated to spend as little as possible. In this way freedom is maximized and the burdens of taxation would be minimized."

There is nothing in that kind of sentiment that screams "for the rich only", despite all the extreme comments from the left.

Nancy Pelosi a communist? Hmmmm! One does not necessarily have to be an idiot to be a communist.

I don't see how you draw that from my comments. We would want the little guy to be able to keep as much of his as possible too.

Even with a flat tax rate, which we'd never see, the amounts would be fair. 10% tax is 10% tax, whether on $100,000 , a million, or 100 million.

Yes, but the tax rate would have to be more around 20-26%, to equal what is taken in now with taxes.

So you like what the new conservative leadership of England just did? It is virtually exactly what the current ultra-conservative GOP is asking for in the US.

If so, how do you reconcile that when England did the same previously, in the early part of the last century, it was a massive economic failure?

They had to cut expenses. HAD TO. Soon, when China refuses to loan us another nickel, we will do the same.

Yes. I'm not saying it's easy or black and white. But history - and many economists - predicts their economy will completely crash now. We'll see (the last link above talks about the negatives). Of course, the good thing is that they will be in a far more stable financial position in the next 5 years. But let's see what is also being predicted now from this (the second link, above)

• About 490,000 public sector jobs likely to be lost

A half-milllion unemployed thrust into an economy that's already fragile.

• Over $11 billion in additional welfare budget cuts

So, will these guys just starve on the streets? It's not like they can go to work, there are no jobs

• Police funding cut by 4% a year

Hopefully they can continue to fight crime.

• Retirement age to rise from 65 to 66 by 2020

Keep working another year in that economy with no jobs.

• National Health Service budget in England to rise every year until 2015

And healthcare costs skyrockets.

let me guess , you own the gas pump she uses to fill up that air force 3 plane every time she flies into the west coast and you are p/o that she is going to lose that plane in 3 months

again , she has hers , her liberal mindset wants people dependent on her , it's very simple , she doesn't want people to get their shot

Letting them use a jet makes sense when you consider Constitutional succession:

Quote:
Did Nancy Pelosi order up a 200-seat jet for her personal use?

Is it true that Nancy Pelosi travels from California three times a week on a private jet (200-seat size) at a cost to the taxpayers of $60K per flight? If so, this would total $480K per month or $5.7M per year. This comes from taxpayer money? If true, how can we criticize others? Is this a good use of taxpayers' hard-earned money and what about the carbon footprint?

A: The Democratic House speaker normally flies in a 12-seat Air Force jet, just as her Republican predecessor did.
